Lucy Frost


I'm a multimedia freelance journalist based in Bristol, UK. I specialise in local democracy, hyperlocal journalism and digital publishing. As a website editor, I combine print-first newsroom practices with strong online instincts to produce clear, accurate and engaging content across both platforms.

Rich Coulter, Editor Filtonvoice and Co-owner Local Voice Network



Lucy brings many qualities to her role as a reporter and website editor, but one in particular stands out - her ability to think independently. She regularly initiates story ideas, shows sound editorial judgement, and is always willing to go the extra mile. These are the traits that separate a competent journalist from an outstanding one.

Lucy has become a valued and trusted member of the Voice team. Her skills, drive and personality will undoubtedly take her far in journalism (but we don't want to lose her!)

Alfie Tyson-Brown: From cellar studio sessions to The Jackson 5

As I walk down the stairs of a venue I’ve visited more times than I can remember, I step into a part of it I’ve never seen before, the basement. What initially looks like any ordinary pub cellar, reveals a corridor leading to a small studio tucked away from the noisy city above. The gentle hum of electronics and amps stacked against the walls fills the space, every inch of the room claimed by musical gear. Alfie Tyson-Brown pauses the mix he’s been engineering and steps over a tangle of leads to greet me.

Priced at £12 a ticket, you can’t go wrong, improv is so back.After three successful years, The Drag Dungeoneers have recen...
